Opinions!


Looking at kits for EOils stuffs...got it narrowed down to two kits...

First kit:

Aromatherapy Starter Kit (Groups A+B) - 24 Vials of our Most Popular Essential Oils

Group A + Group B - our most popular 24 Essential Oils, all 100% pure
and natural: Bergamot, Benzoin, Cedarwood-Atlas, Chamomile-Roman, Clary
Sage, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Geranium, Grapefruit, Juniper
Berry, Lavender Provence, Lemon, Marjoram-Sweet, Myrrh, Orange-Sweet,
Patchouli, Peppermint, Petitgrain, Rosemary, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Tea
Tree, Ylang Ylang. Each essential oil comes in a clear glass vial, 1/6
dram (.7 ml) - approximately 25 drops per vial. 2 small droppers
(pipettes) are included with each kit. You can purchase more droppers
by the dozen at Aromatherapy Accessories. Note:
Normally ALL Essential Oils should ONLY come in dark glass containers
(ours are in cobalt blue or amber glass) - our Vials are a deliberate
exception to the rule. They are in clear glass so that you can see
color and clarity of the oils. Vials are not meant for long-term
storage and should be stored out of direct sunlight and used within a
few months.
Price: $52.50

Loots of tiny vials.
Upside: Many diffrent oils. Wide range. (relativly) cheep.
Downside: I have 8 (maybe more. Must make alist of whatI have. @_@ ) of these already. The vials are TINY and ment for short term storage. [While tiny is good for testing/sampling reasons... I really couldn't do anything much with these.]


2nd kit:

Smaller collection of oils, but 'full size' bottles. Organic. Very nice collection of suport materials. Again, I have some of these (but the ones I do, most of em I want more of) But holy hell the price. @_@



Or should I just say 'Screw it' and just make my own 'kit' by picking out the oils I want to test out?


Meh. I just... need to find a class on this stuff or something. I don't know. >< Stuff.

Hmm.

The second one made me say "Holy shit!" at the price, but it'd probably be your best bet if you're going to go with a kit. Otherwise, I'd say pick your own, as then you have more control over price and contents.

...All this reminds me that I need your mailing address.

I think I'm gonna have to go with pick my own: I have half the oils in either kit already. @_@ Else I would be going for the 2nd one.

Get on AIM and I'll give it to ya. :) You get get back to me on which discs you had wanted again so I can send those out?
